a song for brighteyes.

yours is the prettiest name i’ll ever write.
and i’m the one who should be kissing you goodnight.
and this is your
luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-bye-e.
your luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-bye.

“Goodnight Moon”
and goodnight, stars
goodbye being held in your arms.

lit my cigarette,
your mouth made it wet.
you never even gave me a kiss.

my last marlboro,
a quick burning menthol.
passed a cop and held within
my lips.
and this is your
luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-bye-e.
your luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-bye.

you’re kind of ugly
and your hair’s too gingery
and i spell all of my words
phonetically.
but i still love you,
all the same.

you’re always stoned,
and you can’t spell “horable”
but that’s okay, cause i
think you’re adorable.
and brighteyes is
a silly nickname.

and this is your
luh-luh-bye.
your luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-bye-e-oh-oh.
your luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-luh-bye.
